LAKE DISASTERS.
A Propeller and a Schooner
Wrecked in Lake Michigan.
Nearly Score of Lives Lost in a
Heavy Storm.

A Mackinac City Nlich.) dispatch says that
the propeller California, commanded by
Capt. Trowe1l, left Chicago on Saturday
night, bound for Montreal She was laden
with q, 900 bushels of corn and 700 barrels of
pork, and carried a crew of twenty-five
persons and three passengers She encoun-
tered heavy wind early on Monday
morning off the Beavers, and at P. NJ. the
sea had increased so that it was impossible to
steer her, and 300 barrels of pork were thrown
overheard, but without helping her much.
About IL p NJ, when just above st. Helena
Island, the sea broke in the gangways and
put out the fires. She then swung around
in the trough of the sea and began breaking
up.
The Captain ordered the boats lowered, but
she wes so badly listed that it was impossible
to lower but one The Captain went into the
cabin to get the passengers out but when he
returned found that the first mate and several
men had left with the boat. The steamer now
began rapidly breaking up, and soon all hands
were struggling in the water. The Captain
and engineer succeeded in getting boat
second engineer, the cook, and one lady passen-
ger. Their boat drifted down alongside the
propeller A. Folsom, which was anchored
under St Helena, and was picked
up and brought to Mackinac City
Another boat succeeded in getting ashore
near Point La Barbe The steamer Paxton
picked up one man who was drifting down
the straits on some wreckage. Captain Tro-
well says all were supplied with life preserv
ers, and it is probable that all the bodies will
be recovered. Seven of the crew reached
Point Les Barbes in the lifeboat in an almost
lifelesS condition.
Later information places the number lost
at fourteen and the saved thirteen. The wreck
lies mile from shore and heavy is
breaking over it, the maStS gone, and the
cabin stands on end. The survivors were ten
derby cared for by farmers. Four of the
sailors were unconscious when shore was
reached and none could walk
Owen Rourke, a wheelsman, says: "After
all hope had been given up the passengers
and crew gathered in the cabin and put on
life preservers. L was standing aft when an
immense sea struck her and threw her over
ON her side When she came down she ap-
peared to strike bottom, and the whole cabin
collapsed with a crash"
Rourke says he pulled himself into life
boat and cut it loose. There were eight
others in the boat with him. They dritted
around the Straits four hours, the boat being
full of water. A fireman and a passenger
from Montreal, who were hanging on the
side were swept overheard and lost.

A Sensation.

Why is it that three bottles OF b. B. b.

blood remedy, and twice as much consumed
in the State Of Georgia as any other prepa-
ration? No one need take our word, but
simply ask the druggists. Ask the people.
They are competent witnesses. Six houses
in Atlanta buy in FIVE and ten gross lots,
and some Of them buy as often as every two
months. Why these unprecedented sales
here at home, with so little advertising?
Modesty forbids us making reply. Had
